"let us offer our prayers "

The month of November brings us many activities. First we celebrate All Saints Day followed by All Souls Day. These are good days to remind us of those who have gone before us with the sign of Faith that we should never forget. All of us know persons who have been a guide to us in our lives and an inspiration for us to do good works for others. Some of those Saints/Souls have been members of our Club or the International Organization of SERRA.
For all of the Saints/Souls, let us offer our prayers in thanksgiving for their lives and for their salvation.
The United States of America elected a new president and a new congress. Some of us may be very disappointed with the outcome while others are joyful. Regardless how we feel about the outcome of the election, we all should pray to the Lord and His Blessed Mother to guide our leaders through these very difficult times that lie ahead. The Catholic Bishops have asked us to become more involved in the selection of candidates in order that the necessary principles of good moral conduct may be expressed in support of our Catholic beliefs.
On Saturday November 22, 2008, our Club will celebrate the formation of our Club at the 7:30am Mass at the Carmelite Monastery. Please come to this Mass to remember the beginnings of our Club and offer thanks to our founders. A short meeting will follow at a room at the Carmelite Monastery.
November is the month when our America stops and gives thanks on Thanksgiving Day. We all here in America have many things to be thankful for each day such as our families, friends, freedom, security, and excellent shelter fro the cold/heat, abundance of food, and all the other material things that fulfill our daily needs. All Americans should find a very special to offer prayers for all the abundance we have received rather than just have a day for a great meal and football. How will you spend your day?
Thank you for all the things that you do to help with our work for vocations.

God Bless. You!
Tom Murphy, President
